I'm running OpenBSD 4.8-release on an IBM ThinkPad T 42 and installed
iwi-firmware-3.1 as indicated in iwi(4). Wireless works flawlessly.
However, after suspend (closing the lid of the laptop) I get a message
saying "iwi0: fatal firmware error". Ifconfig iwi0 shows "no network"
in the status field. Dmesg gives:

... snippet (the usual stuff) ...
root on wd0a swap on wd0b dump on wd0b
iwi0: fatal firmware error

'# sh /etc/netstart' and '# dhclient iwi0' both report:
iwi0: no link . . . . . . . . . . . . . sleeping

Reboot solves the problem of course. Is this a bug in the firmware or
does OpenBSD handle suspend incorrectly or am I simply supposed to
bring the interface down before suspending?

regards, Alex
